Finally a mention of MLB the Show! The one sports franchise that has an ultimate team mode where you can spend absolutely no money and have a competitive team. I’d love to see a video on how MLB the Show 20 handled the Covid season compared to 2k and Madden
Well mlb the show is a ps exclusive so sony themselves are handling the team who makes mlb the show if 2k and ea are make new baseball games then the competition would be great plus ea and 2k would make baseball games if they want to catch mlb the show which is the only baseball game on console
@@chriswolf1089 Really interesting point on platform exclusivity, and luckily even with future installments being available for multiple platforms SDS will still be running the show
Both are fantastic games and appeal to two separate players perfectly. NCAA Basketball 10 was a much prettier and better sounding game, and had a better pick up and play gameplay. Dynasty was straight-forward as well. But the game lacked depth and eventually left players wanting more. When you want to play a college basketball game in a little bit of free time, NCAA Basketball 10 is your game. College Hoops 2K8 is kind of ugly in comparison and doesn't have great audio either. Its simulation gameplay presents a learning curve for new players. But 2K8 has tons of depth. Custom arenas, custom plays/formations, custom chants. Better recruiting and that awesome weekly show in career mode that immerses you in the entire college basketball landscape, not just your team or conference. If you have time to immerse yourself in a college basketball game, you chose 2K8.
@@drewmowif you want better presentation and a more college basketball sorta feeling game then go for ncaa 10 if you want better gameplay and dynasty go for 2K 8
I remember over at OS forums we were waiting for a patch that never came. The game was actually pretty good the main weakness was AI players never passed out of the post
I love 2k8 but man the gameplay is not nearly as good as you make it sound. It was probably pretty good for its time, i have never played a 2k game from around that time, so maybe its like the same but it is no where near as good gameplay as xbox 360 or ps3 generation 2k. I still play it alot tho cause it is a great game. Im just saying that like i dont play it a ton and thats only because the gameplay is not great
I feel bad for anyone that don't have the disc's. The prices are outrageous. I doubt the new college football when it comes out will not be half as good as 13 and 14.
STILL PLAY THIS GAME!!! ESPECIALLY around the basketball season...it's winter the first semester of schools about to be over Christmas is right around the corner. GREAT TIMES
I’ve been noticing what’s been going on on Twitter softdrinktv and I want to say that these people are just there to hate and get attention, so don’t worry about them, focus on making content that you are passionate about like old games cuz that is who you are
I love your content, bro. At least we get a little taste of college basketball in 2k21; although I hope one day that we’ll have a full-fledged college basketball game.
Last time EA presentation beat anybody. I think the NCAA 10 has better visuals but delayed gameplay. 2k8 has better halftime and season shows. I had both but sold 2k8. Kept NCAA 10. Sometimes I regret not keeping both. Vitail?
Two problems I have with dynasty. College upgrades are broken. Fully upgrade your campus, three star and 4 star recruits come in with 84 or higher rating. I remember 85 or above rating is when players declare pro. Plus it’s extremely hard to retain players unlike the football games. Second that really irks me. Depending on your success you will eventually lose your home state as a pipeline! Had a 22 year dynasty at Michigan State and by year 10, no player from Michigan was interested in my school! I had a roster of players from multiple states outside of Midwest which makes no sense. Couldn’t interest any players from Michigan. Impossible!
I wish that Xbox would put some of these college sports games on their backwards compatible list for Xbox 1 (s/x) or Xbox series (x/s) never say never but that would probably happen sooner than NCAA and courts deciding on new laws or players getting paid, that would be a decade more or less but I like many of you like NCAA SPORTS GAMES
This game was really bad on the floor. The CPU ran the same motion over and over and took shots at the same places. Once you saw their script, you could get blocks repeatedly. The animations were canned. You could literally not touch the controller and an animation could trigger a foul. Shooting was 100% random, even EA said that themselves. The home court advantage had absolutely no impact on the game itself outside of camera shaking and occasion commentary triggers. The game even had a hidden "comeback code" which would keep the score close with the CPU. The gameplay was just all around crap. There's no justifying it.
Yep gameplay was ass. College hoops 2k8 is the greatest college basketball ever and arguably the greatest basketball game ever. I lost count of how many hours i put into that game. I had to have done at least 15 years on dynasty mode
Talk about nfl gameday 99 to nfl gameday 2005. The 989 sports are super super underdogs in sports video games. Because they made good game like maximum football 18 and 19.
I'm a huge college basketball fan and own both 2k8 and NCAA 10. Everything you said in regards to both games in spot on. NCAA 10 has the presentation and atmosphere down, but 2k8 has better gameplay, better recruiting, and an incredible career mode. 2k8 is the better game, no doubt. But I go back to NCAA 10 whenever I miss that presentation.
As a huge college basketball fan, I still play NCAA Basketball 10 and College Hoops 2k8. 2k8 has better depth, but NCAA Basketball 10 has better in game presentation. Gameplay is outdated for both, but college hoops 2k8 is probably better, but NCAA Basketball 10 isn't too bad and I think its underrated. The game just needs more depth like college hoops 2k8. I couldn't even imagine what a college basketball game would like today if they had built it like NBA 2k. That said both are more fun than Madden
Can you do a video on the nfl fever series. NFL fever 2004 was my first football game and I played it until I got an 360 and madden 08. I feel like the fever series is really underrated and deserves a spotlight
I would do QUESTIONABLE things to get another college basketball like this.. lol I was actually ranked #20 on the leaderboards and I always used Purdue. I remember John Wall and company were INSANE. Imagine an updated version of this game with new graphics.. one can only dream..
It is pretty cool that this game has two different broadcasting teams. Never heard of a sports game doing that (though I don't play very many sports games, to be honest). And Dick Vitale! But is it the perfect balance of Dick and Vitale?
Notice this: NBA 2K's crowds are half in the dark. The Garden was known for this exclusively (Staple Center followed) for decades as the only arena with this feature, all arenas in 2K have this feature which takes away a lot of the atmosphere. A very simple feature, but once you notice it you can't overlook it anymore.
Love this game!! Thank you!! (Also, the EA NHL games from a few years back used the NBC graphics packages and made for a really cool broadcast style presentation experience but nothing has been on the level of this game since).
This was a decent game. The problem with this game is that it was broken. I had it on 360 and it would just freeze in the middle of a game. I’d get thru a few games and it would freeze again. I thought it was my disk so I bought a new copy and it did the same thing. Contacted EA and they had nothing. Never got to finish turning Virginia Tech around. I think I went back to 2k8 after that.
Watched almost all the videos I could by you and shared to all my friends, quality content and great criticism towards EA keep up the work for the community
I still have my OG copy from Christmas 2009. It doesn't always work but when it does boy is it fun. I'm scared to see the amount of time in my life I've spent playing that game because I know it's insane.
I loved the recruiting aspect of ncaa 10. The gameplay wasn't great but the presentation was good and kept me interested for awhile. Look forward to a future game like this. Nba live 19 is underated, like it better than 2k at the moment
The other replay value to both CH2K8 and NCAA10 is you can get updated rosters for both games. I have both and love being able to play with current players. I'm about to start over with both with this year's rosters. They're both like NCAA14 Football, they just have that something you just keep coming back for even if you haven't played them in awhile.
Here's the link below where you will be able to get the 2020 rosters for CH2K8 but he's not finished so he hasn't posted the file yet. But he did do one for NCAA10 (there's a link to those in the first post).

Same here. I keep all my old sports games and never trade them in. Keeping those two paid off big time.

Both are fantastic games and appeal to two separate players perfectly.

Too bad you can’t find this game at a reasonable price (aka $10)
Yep. People want to monopolize what they have. I’ve seen ncaa 10 go for 150$ online and 55$ at gamestop. Hoops is only 33$ but they’re never in stock.
Just got to do some deep searching. There is always someone who doesn't know what they have.
